Spring is here indeed! As my allergies attest... but spring is always a hopeful season.
The above is a Shelley, England teacup in the unusual Atholl shape in the Primrose pattern. The shape is not often seen, although the pattern was used for many years on many shapes. I just speaks of the cheerful thought induced by the burgeoning blooms of spring.
It struck me this morning, as I sat with my first cup... of my current favorite Victorian London Fog by Harney & Sons tea... that a few minutes centering my day are so necessary!
The first cup, after devotions, then waking my husband for his first major medications, was indeed the essence of peace and reflection I need each day to begin.
I am very grateful for peace and joy found in such a small thing in the midst of the fact that each day is a new challenge and totally unpredictable.
But...that, too can be a source of pleasure.

What a beautiful quote - about a beautiful moment and experience.

ReplyDeleteI check in every once in a while to see if you are posting again and are thrilled to see you are! I of course wondered what was happening when you weren't. I continue to pray for your Hubby!
ReplyDeleteFather, I pray for my friend Ruth today that you would be with her and give her the strength for this journey she is on.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote! And it is inspiring to me the way you stay positive, savor all "the little things" each day, persevere in your life challenges, and continue to spread joy to others. I'm sure your dear husband treasures you.
